    Has anyone bolted on an Eaton supercharger here? - any info for Dubs?
    Or am I committing blatant blasphemy mentioning instead of a g-Lader? [:$]

    Yep - Ive seen that thread before... was just wondering if there was anyone else on the forum that could give there 2 cents worth. Debating the cost of a G-Lader v's the availability of Eaton's

    That car never sucessfully ran on boost and is no more.

    Cars that are running eatons and boost are
    This one, from where Ben/ScOrion got his idea from,
    ABF 2.0 Merc W203 Charger belonging to eaton mk2 or N7NDO

    and this one a 1.8 16v ADL in a Seat with Mini Charger.

    There is also a white Mk1 that runs a 9A 16v with a W203 charger and low boost (G60RGE)

    yes, i used the eaton M45 from the mini cooper on my old polo G40. Have a look at the video to see if you could put up with the noise of an unsilenced eaton as they do make a racket lol

    click for the rolling road run video

    It produced 19psi boost on the standard bottom ended 1272cc engine which in turn made 189bhp :)
